　　第四屆“買得起藝術(shù)節(jié)-北京”將于09年5月30、31日在三里屯橙色大廳(The Orange)舉辦。買得起藝術(shù)節(jié)-北京”是由 Tom Pattinson 和 Tamsin Roberts 于2006年創(chuàng)辦，旨在給年青的藝術(shù)家提供一個(gè)展示自己的平臺(tái)，同時(shí)也給廣大藝術(shù)愛好者提供了一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)購(gòu)買屬于自己的獨(dú)特當(dāng)代藝術(shù)作品。

　　“在過(guò)去的四年，活動(dòng)規(guī)模逐年壯大，這讓我驚嘆。”Tom Pattinson 說(shuō)道，“無(wú)論人們是來(lái)購(gòu)買藝術(shù)品還是僅僅來(lái)這里感受藝術(shù)氣氛,每年都有很多人參與我們精彩的活動(dòng),人數(shù)之多令我震驚。”由于持續(xù)擴(kuò)大的活動(dòng)規(guī)模，今年我們決定將活動(dòng)地點(diǎn)轉(zhuǎn)移到三里屯。“能夠在市中心舉辦此活動(dòng)，本身就是一件令人興奮的事情。優(yōu)越的位置將會(huì)使為活動(dòng)帶來(lái)更多的觀眾。” Pattinson先生說(shuō)。

　　活動(dòng)的創(chuàng)辦宗旨是讓每個(gè)人都有機(jī)會(huì)購(gòu)買屬于自己的當(dāng)代藝術(shù)作品──掛在墻上的藝術(shù)品,開始他們自己的藝術(shù)收藏之旅。2006年在中國(guó)，“買得起藝術(shù)節(jié)”還是一個(gè)全新的概念。當(dāng)時(shí)的藝術(shù)品市場(chǎng)只局限于富有的投資者和收藏者，而對(duì)廣大藝術(shù)愛好者來(lái)言根本是不可能。隨著中國(guó)的藝術(shù)市場(chǎng)愈加火爆和藝術(shù)品價(jià)格的快速攀升，這對(duì)于大眾人群來(lái)說(shuō)，能買得起藝術(shù)作品更是難上加難了。

　　“買得起藝術(shù)節(jié)-北京”策展人譚仙女士(紅T藝術(shù)總裁)解釋:“所有的藝術(shù)品價(jià)格都在1萬(wàn)元人民幣之內(nèi)(包括1萬(wàn)元)，有一些作品僅售幾百元。無(wú)論你的預(yù)算是多少，在這里你總能找到適合自己心理價(jià)位的作品。” “買得起藝術(shù)節(jié)-北京”不只是給人們提供一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)購(gòu)買精美的藝術(shù)品。在往年的活動(dòng)中，被資深的紅T藝術(shù)所選中很多特色的藝術(shù)家也隨之而出名，同時(shí)他們的作品價(jià)格也跟著上漲了起來(lái)。“‘買得起藝術(shù)節(jié)-北京’展示藝術(shù)市場(chǎng)的新作品，這對(duì)公眾來(lái)說(shuō)是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的機(jī)會(huì)。每年都會(huì)展出很多新的藝術(shù)家和新作品。由于本活動(dòng)的獨(dú)特性、藝術(shù)品的低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資及它能給人們帶來(lái)的無(wú)限樂趣，這些都吸引著大量的人群參加。” 她這樣說(shuō)道。

　　活動(dòng)也為青年新銳藝術(shù)家提供了一很好平臺(tái)，展示他們的作品和收獲反饋信息。“我們花了大量的時(shí)間拜訪幾百位年青的藝術(shù)家，找出最具潛力的新銳。對(duì)這些藝術(shù)家而言，‘買得起藝術(shù)節(jié)-北京’也是他們展示自己和出售作品的一個(gè)絕佳機(jī)會(huì)。”譚仙說(shuō)道。

　　如今，人們對(duì)買得起藝術(shù)的需求與日俱增，廣大的買家都希望他們的投資物有所值。在這個(gè)充滿更多挑戰(zhàn)的時(shí)代，“買得起藝術(shù)節(jié)-北京”會(huì)一直盡力支持藝術(shù)群體，推廣新銳藝術(shù)家，促進(jìn)北京藝術(shù)的發(fā)展。

　　The fourth Affordable Art Beijing will be held in The Orange in The Village at Sanlitun, May 30-31st 2009. The AAB was founded in 2006 by Tom Pattinson and Tamsin Roberts to give art lovers the chance to buy their own unique work of contemporary art and to give young artists a platform to display their talents.

　　“It has been amazing to see this event grow from strength to strength over the last four years,” says Tom Pattinson. “Each year we are surprised and impressed by the number of people that join in this wonderful event whether to buy art or simply to enjoy the atmosphere.” This year the continued expansion of the event has led it to move to the Sanlitun Village. “It is very exciting that we can move this event to the heart of the city, and reach a greater audience in an incredible location,” says Pattinson.

　　The event was created to allow everyone the chance to buy their own piece of contemporary art； something to hang on their wall or start their collection with. Affordable Art was a new concept in China in 2006 as the art market was closed off to many art lovers and limited only to wealthy investors and collectors. As the Chinese art market got hotter and prices rapidly increased this only made it harder for the majority of people to be able to afford works.

　　“All art works are sold for under 10,000RMB,” explains Tamsin Roberts, director of Red T Art and curator of AAB. “Some items are sold for just a few hundred RMB, meaning there is really something for everyone, no matter what your budget,” she says. Whilst AAB is an opportunity to allow people to buy some beautiful works of art, the skills of Red T have also meant that many of the featured artists in previous years’ AABs have gone on to become very successful artists whose works rapidly increases in value. “AAB is an opportunity to show the public what is currently up coming in the market, every year there are new artists show-cased and new works to see, it is a unique event and attractive to a wide variety of people for the low risk investment and enjoyment that it can provide,” she explains.

　　The show is also an excellent platform for young emerging artists to show their work and gauge feedback on their works. “We spend a lot of time visiting hundreds of young artists to find the best up and coming talent and Affordable Art Beijing is an incredibly opportunity for these artists to show and sell their works,” says Roberts.

　　Today, the demand for affordable art is stronger than ever as buyers want to ensure their money goes as far as possible. In these more challenging times AAB continues to support the art community, promoting new artists and encouraging the Beijing art scene to continue to thrive.
